When Skylar saw the wrinkles at the corner of Idania’s eyes, she reminded herself to apply her eye cream every

night. After all, she might look worse than Idania by the time she turned thirty.

“Tobias and I used to come here last time. He doesn’t really like pork. Hence, he enjoys the fried beef cutlets served

here as it suits his tastes perfectly.” Idania let out a gentle smile as she handed Skylar the menu with one hand.

Receiving the menu politely, Skylar raised an eyebrow. “You probably haven’t eaten with him in a while. Now, he

stays away from oily food. Just a few days ago, we went to have beef wellington. I didn’t enjoy it but he liked it very

much. Anyway, he doesn’t like me visiting fly-infested restaurants like this. After all, I have a weak stomach and he

worries that I’ll get sick.”

Idania’s smile slowly faded. “One feels blissful when one is dining with a loved one. It doesn’t matter if it’s in a

classy restaurant or a dirty one.”

Skylar nodded with a smile. “That’s true. That’s why he enjoys the spaghetti I make. Anyway, I’m not familiar with

this place, so you should order on my behalf. Don’t order whatever he likes. Instead, order whatever he hates the

most.”

“How can two people with such different tastes live together? Tobias and I have similar preferences for food. He

likes his food with lighter seasoning.” Idania squinted her eyes at Skylar as she insisted on ordering Tobias’ favorite

food.

She wasn’t lying to Skylar. Tobias used to visit the restaurant very often with her. At that time, he was so busy that

he didn’t care about what he ate, as long as he could fill his stomach. Neither did he have the patience to waste

time on the kind of fine dining which Skylar had just mentioned.

Hence, Idania had suffered through the difficult days of old alongside him. However, Skylar was now enjoying the

fruits of their labor. After having achieved wealth and influence, Tobias had replaced her with someone younger and

prettier.

Nevertheless, she had faith that the memories Tobias and her shared were irreplaceable. Therefore, she

considered Skylar to just be a fling of his. Or else, there was no reason for him not to make their relationship public

after so long.

Skylar replied confidently, “I won’t change my taste for someone else. I will not be happy if I have to lose myself for

the sake of being with someone else. Ms. Garland, my purpose here today isn’t to discuss what my boyfriend’s

tastes are nor what he likes to eat.”

From the moment she received her call, Idania knew that Skylar didn’t come with friendly intentions. Thinking back

to last night, she figured Skylar must have seen the message she sent to Tobias.

Is that the reason why Tobias didn’t reply to my messages? From the beginning, Idania had never expected Tobias

to reply to her messages. Putting aside the fact that they had broken up for such a long time, Tobias behaved the

same way even when they were still together.

In fact, he would disappear for no reason for a long time. He wouldn’t contact her nor reply to her messages at all.

Hence, it was impossible for her to feel secure with a boyfriend like that.

Consequently, it was rather frustrating to be with someone like that. However, after breaking up, she was utterly

heartbroken and couldn’t forget him still.

Amidst the quiet but incendiary atmosphere, Idania meekly stared into Skylar’s eyes and saw the flames raging

within them.

“Though I’m a few years older than you, you can call me Idania. I don’t want to make enemies of you since there’s

hardly any animosity between us. Ms. Jones, please go ahead with what you have come to say.”

Skylar hated it when Idania tried to play victim when she was obviously the one who started to cling onto Tobias.

Now, those not in the know would assume that Idania was the one who had suffered some injustice at Skylar’s

hands.

When the food was served, neither of them touched anything. Skylar couldn’t bring herself to dine at the same

table as Idania.

She raised her eyebrow. “Let me be upfront then. Stop contacting Tobias as he already has me. If you are sick,

please get yourself treated. My boyfriend can’t cure you because he isn’t a doctor. You should go to the hospital

and get yourself checked up. Otherwise, who will you blame in the event that something happens to you?”

Just as Idania’s eyes widened, she held onto her chest while her face turned pale.

As Skylar had graduated from drama school, she could easily tell when someone was acting. From the looks of it

now, Idania seemed to be trying too hard.
